Portal and hatch gaskets source?

[Sasjzl]

Can anyone tell me where I can get the 1/2” gasket material for the portals and hatches on my new to me CD30 ?

Thanks very much,
Jim Lee

You can also get this "raw" from McMaster-Carr for a lot less! Search this forum for "gasket + mcmaster" for details.

Ultra-Weather-Resistant EPDM Foam Cords 1/2" - stock number 8605k44

You will have enough to last a lifetime - 100 ft lengths. We have used it for Spartan ports and Bomar hatches.

The Bomar hatch gasket material looks like 9/16" vs. the 1/2" McMaster-Carr Ultra-Weather-Resistant EPDM Foam Cords for the Spartan portholes
I don't know if that matters as I haven't changed either one. I do need to replace the lexan?/plexiglass? in my Bomar hatch though.

Thanks Ethan - you are probably right about the Bomars. I did use the 1/2" on the forward Bomar and have found it to work. I note though that I've learned NOT to dog it down to full hand strength, which is considerable in my gnarly case.
